Urban areas cover a tiny fraction of worlds land
area, but account for >30% of the water consumed
each year. To meet this demand, most towns and
cities rely on importing large volumes of high-quality
water (after treatment) from surrounding water
sources such as rivers, groundwater and dams.
Urban water authorities world-wide manage water
supply, stormwater drainage and wastewater disposal
separately. This approach dates back to the 19th
century, Since then, the construction of urban
water infrastructure in all cities has largely
been based on this ‘Separate System’ approach.
Today, urban engineers and Town planners are
beginning to evaluate alternatives to this 'Separate
System’ approach such as the Reuse of Stormwater.
In recent times Rainwater recycling concept have
made some water critical projects possible.
Rainsmart Solutions underground tanking system,
provides a perfect point source solution for this
application, Stormwater collected from roofs,
driveways and other impermeable surfaces, can
be filtered and stored underground in Tank Modules,
the tank modules are wrapped in high strength
PP or LDPE immpermeable liners to avoid any water
loss. The tank can be accessed, by using a surface
pump, which can also act as an inspection or maintainence
port.
Rainwater can be used for irrigation of landscaped
area, fire protection, car washing, and or other
industrial processes for thermal energy transfer,
Rainwater can also be used for house hold usage
with appropriate online carbon and UV filters.
